VM R Series -

Special Benefits and features

The newly designed rotary table machine series with clamping force sizes from 40 t to 270 t (VM 40/.. R7 2 - VM 270/.. R17 ), equipped with the high-performance UNILOG B6 control system and rotary tables ranging from 7 2 mm to 17 mm in diameter, represents a new milestone in fl exible parts production. It offers first-class recision and quality assurance and can be extended with automation concepts and a wide range of options.

New, convertible injection units for horizontal and vertical configuration - New injection units with a uniform 22:1 L/D ratio, up to 3000 bar injection pressure and increased injection and plasticizing performance offer additional scope for the production of injection-molded parts. With the help of an optional conversion package, existing injection units can be converted into horizontal as well as vertical units, thus offering even more flexibility.
Light curtain - Safety of the parts insertion and removal area is ensured by means of light curtains as standard. This gives the machine operator optimal access for parts removal and also ideal conditions for further automation concepts.
Media distributor - The supply of media to the molds in 2-station rotary table machines (oscillating operation) is handled by an easily accessible, robust media distributor offering a high degree of flexibility in the number of cooling and tempering circuits, hydraulic circuits for core pulls, the pneumatic system, mold heating and additional electrical signals. Rotary manifolds distributing various media and electrical signals are available for 3- and 4-station rotary table machines (rotary operation).
Media distributor connections for cooling and tempering circuits - The connection facility for the cooling and tempering circuits of the top and bottom halves is centrally mounted at the rear of the machine.
Energy-saving hydraulic system with DFEE axial piston pumps - The machine's flexible drive concept, based on two electrically adjustable pumps for flow speed and hydraulic pressure control allows short machine cycle times and parallel movements of ejector and core pulls as part of the standard equipment package.
Clamping system - 3 symmetrically arranged clamping cylinders ensure fast, evenly distributed clamping force build-up as well as a compact design (low working height). As required, the hydraulic ejector can be repositioned for 2-, 3- and 4- station operation, and extended by the installation of additional ejector units.
